Armoured Assault Combat Group and Tank Riders
More questions - I have had a brainstorm this evening :lol: I was thinking about Russian tactics and wondered how the below scenario might work...or is it a 'gamey' tactic ? Supposing I have 8 T34's in an Armoured Assault Group, each with 2 infantry units as tank riders close assaulting multiple German infantry to the front in the open. Can I claim a +5 for lead Tank + 7 for supporting tanks and + 16 for supporting debussed tank riders ? :twisted: Thats seems like a meaty attack to me. I have relatively limited knowledge of the tactics used in WWII at this scale, :oops: did the Russians actually attack in this fashion ? Where can I find this kind of info ? I welcome anyones thoughts on this. Andy

Andy, A meaty attack indeed but they would only all get to fight as one close assult if attacking a specific terrain feature. DB

I would suggest that the 8 unit limit counts ALL units in the attack... ..thus the tanks + the tank riders.... So you could get 4 lots of ( 2tanks with 2 tank riders each)...... I know that is only 6 units per command pip, but you must realise russkies only get 4 elements per pip anyway.....(mix up of terms (sic) there)
